General Information

History

Agnes Scott had its beginnings in the faith and vision of a small group of
Presbyterians in Decatur, Georgia. The organizing of a Christian school was
undertaken in July of 1889, and, under the influence of the Reverend Frank
Henry Gaines, minister of the Decatur Presbyterian Church, it was decided
that the school would be primarily for girls and young women. Founded in that
year as the Decatur Female Seminary, the school occupied a rented house
and had slightly over $5,000 of subscribed capital. There were four teachers
and sixty-three students, and the work offered was of grammar school level.
In the spring of 1890, Colonel George Washington Scott, a leading Decatur
businessman, gave $40,000 to provide "a home" for the school. Colonel Scott
had earlier provided 40% of the initial capital, and his gifts to the new school
constituted the largest sum given to education in Georgia up to that time. In
recognition of his interest and support, the Board of Trustees changed the
school's name to Agnes Scott Institute in honor of Colonel Scott's mother.

Within ten years the Institute was accredited as a secondary school. In 1906
it was chartered as Agnes Scott College, and the first degrees were awarded.
The College was accredited in 1907 by the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools and thus became the first college or university in Georgia to
receive regional accreditation. In 1920 the College was placed on the approved
list of the Association of American Universities and in 1926 was granted a
charter by the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. Agnes Scott is also a charter
member of the American Association of University Women and of the Southern
University Conference.

Throughout its history, Agnes Scott has sought to maintain the ideals first
voiced by its founders: ". . . the formation and development of Christian char-
acter" and "a high standard of scholarship." The College is proud of its
Presbyterian heritage and continues an informal affiliation with the Presby-
terian Church in the United States; but it has been since its founding an
independent institution governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Its
academic program has been based on a firm adherence to the traditional liberal
arts disciplines supplemented by academic and extracurricular opportunities
designed to meet the changing needs of women in our society.

From modest beginnings, the permanent assets of the College have grown
to almost $60,000,000 of which some $40,000,000 is in endowment. From a
single house on a small lot Agnes Scott has expanded into twenty buildings on
some one hundred acres. In its ninety-three year history it has been served by
four presidents: Frank Henry Gaines (1889-1923), James Ross McCain (1923-
1951), Wallace McPherson Alston (1951-1973), and Marvin Banks Perry, Jr.
(1973- ).

Purpose

Purpose

Agnes Scott was founded for the purpose of "establishing, perpetuating, and
conducting a liberal arts college for the higher education of young women
under auspices distinctly favorable to the maintenance of the faith and practice
of the Christian religion."

In a rapidly changing world of increasing mechanization and complexity,
the College continues to put its faith in the life of the mind and the spirit
and in the liberating power of knowledge.

As a liberal arts college for undergraduate women, the purpose of the College
is as follows:

1. to help the student gain a basic acquaintance with each of three
broad areas of knowledge the humanities, natural sciences and
mathematics, and social sciences and competence in some partic-
ular phase of one area;

2. to develop through such study those qualities of mind analyt-
ical, critical, and imaginative which will enable the student to use
the treasure of the past as well as contemporary contributions to
knowledge, not only to enrich her own life but also to seek solutions
to age-old and new problems;

3. to develop an appreciation for excellence and for man's creative
achievements in all fields;

4. to encourage the student to find for herself a spiritual commit-
ment and a set of values which will give vitality, meaning, and direc-
tion to her life;

5. to foster a concern for human worth and needs, physical as well
as intellectual and spiritual;

6. to cultivate in the student a sense of responsibility to the society
in which she lives, both within the college community and beyond.

The University Center

Agnes Scott is one of fourteen Atlanta-area institutions composing the
University Center in Georgia. Other institutions in the group are Atlanta
College of Art, the Atlanta University, Columbia Theological Seminary, Emory
University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University,
the University of Georgia at Athens, and Oglethorpe University. These colleges
and universities cooperate in sharing facilities, resources, and activities. Chief
areas of cooperation are in library services, visiting scholars, departmental
conferences, and faculty research. Opportunities are also available, by special
arrangement, for juniors and seniors to take courses at other institutions
within the Center.

General Information

Student Life

Orientation

Orientation for new students is planned by a student organization, Orienta-
tion Council. All components of the college community help to provide a wide
spectrum of activities, both academic and social, on the campus and in metro-
politan Atlanta.

Residence Halls

The life of the College is influenced by the fact that students live and work
in a small residential community. A dorm president and a dorm council are
elected for each hall, and a senior resident, who is a member of the staff of
the Dean of Students, is available for conferences when needed. All regulations
governing the College community are clearly set forth in a Student Handbook
which is given to each student when she arrives on the campus.

All rooms are at the same rate. Each room is furnished with single beds,
mattresses and pillows, dressers, chairs, study tables, student lamps, and book-
cases.

Full-time students must reside in a college dormitory or in a residence with
parents, close relatives, or spouse. Exception is made in the case of students
in the Return to College Program.

Advising and Counseling

A chief function of the Dean of the College and her staff, assisted by major
professors and other designated members of the faculty, is academic counseling.

General counseling of students, especially in relation to non-academic mat-
ters and social and extracurricular activities, is centered in the office of the
Dean of Students. A consulting psychologist is available for additional counsel-
ing through the Dean of Students.

Health Services

The student health services of the College are supervised by the Dean of
Students and are available in the Health Center of the Frances Winship Walters
Infirmary. The college medical staff includes consultants in internal medicine,
gynecology, and psychology. Nurses are on duty in the Health Center from

Student Life

8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A gynecological clinic is held
every Tuesday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The residence fee charged all boarding students includes ordinary infirmary
and office treatment for resident students. The expense is met by the student
if consultations, laboratory work, or prescription medications are required.
Resident students are urged to consult with on-campus nurses before seeking
off-campus medical treatment. Cases of serious illness or accident may be
referred to local hospitals.

Non-resident students may be treated for emergencies at the Health Center.

The College reserves the right, if parents or guardian cannot be reached, to
make decisions concerning emergency health problems for any student. The
parent is expected to sign the forms necessary for this right. Students are
financially responsible for any care received at local hospitals or emergency
rooms. Students should have insurance identification cards when consulting
with outside health agencies.

Student Government

To learn to live honorably and unselfishly in a community and to share the
responsibility of self-government is the stated purpose of the Student Govern-
ment Association. Such experiences are a part of the broader education offered
at Agnes Scott. Students have an active role in shaping the policies and regula-
tions of the College. The president of Student Government, the chairman of
Honor Court, and the chairman of Interdormitory Council are full voting
members of the Administrative Committee of the College in all student-oriented
matters.

The activities of the students are directed through elected members of Rep-
resentative Council, Honor Court, Interdormitory Council, and Dormitory
Councils. Functioning closely with Student Government is the Board of Student
Activities, which coordinates the programs of all student organizations including
Arts Council, Athletic Association, Christian Association, and Social Council.
These groups are responsible for correlating campus activities with the needs
of the college community.

The Honor System

The Honor System is the cornerstone of life at Agnes Scott. The freedom to
grow responsibly in social and academic life is the basis on which the Honor
System is built. Each member of the College community is committed to de-
velop and uphold high standards of honesty and behavior. Self-scheduled
exams, unproctored quizzes, and open rooms are among the benefits enjoyed
by students. On entering the College, each student voluntarily pledges her sup-
port to this way of life.

General Information

Academic Honors

The Beta of Georgia Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at Agnes
Scott in 1926. The Chapter conducts annual elections in accordance with
criteria and procedures prescribed by the United Chapters.

Superior academic work is recognized by the College in several ways. At
the Honors Convocation held each fall, the Class Honor Roll is read, and
Stukes Scholars three students who rank first academically in the rising
sophomore, junior, and senior classes are announced.

The Dana Scholarship Program was begun in 1970 with a grant from the
Charles A. Dana Foundation. Academic promise, leadership potential, and
financial need are criteria for this honor.

The Alpha Delta chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, a national honorary fraternity
of Greek and Latin students, was organized at Agnes Scott in 1928. The society
encourages classical scholarship and appreciation of ancient learning both in
the Agnes Scott student body and in the local high school. The basis of election
to membership is scholarship.

Extracurricular Activiries

Agnes Scott offers a broad range of activities for student participation. A
number of special interest clubs (creative writing, dance, drama, foreign
language, music, politics, and sports) are open to students. Through the
faculty-student Lecture Committee, the College brings to the campus both
lecturers and visiting scholars in various fields and distinguished personalities
from the performing arts. Language clubs Spanish, French, and German
offer opportunities to converse in the language and increase knowledge of
the country and culture studied. Student publications are the Profile, the
campus newspaper; the Silhouette, the student yearbook; and the Aurora, a
quarterly literary magazine.

Arts Council serves as a coordinating body for stimulating creative expres-
sion and participation in the arts. Exhibitions of paintings and other objects
of art are held continuously in the Dalton Galleries. The Studio Dance Theatre
studies contemporary dance and gives an annual formal concert in the spring.
The Glee Club, composed of fifty members, presents several concerts through-
out the year. Three major productions are given each year by Blackfriars, the
college drama group.

The Athletic Association encourages constructive leisure pursuits by offering
a variety of athletic activities in individual and team sports. The Dolphin Club,
formed in 1935, develops the art of synchronized swimming. Intercollegiate
participation is sponsored in field hockey and tennis.

Other groups which meet special needs of the students are Orientation

10

Student Life

Council, concerned with activities of new students during the first weeks of
school; Social Council; Commuting Student Council, which aids these students
in participating fully in campus activities; Students for Black Awareness;
Chimo, the club for foreign students; the Spirit Committee; and Working for
Awareness.

Religious Life

Christian Association is an active student organization which provides an
opportunity for students to participate in various areas of religious life, includ-
ing chapel programs.

Students are encouraged to affiliate with the church of their choice in the
Decatur or Atlanta area. Transportation is usually arranged by churches that
are not easily accessible.

Each year a distinguished leader is brought to the campus for a week of
religious emphasis.

Career Planning

The Career Planning Office offers undergraduates and alumnae a compre-
hensive program whose primary goals are an expanded awareness of career and
lifestyle options, the ability to make informed career decisions, and the develop-
ment of successful job-search strategies.

To help students attain these goals, the Office provides individual counseling,
conferences, and workshops on career fields and decision-making as well as
job-search workshops on such topics as skills assessment, resume writing, and
interviewing techniques.

Each student who seeks counseling has access to self-assessment aids and
vocational testing. An alumnae advisory network provides access to advisors
and role models. A number of prospective employers and graduate schools
send recruiters to the campus each year. Permanent, summer, and part-time job
referrals are provided upon request.

A Career Resource Room contains books and pamphlets about traditional
and non-traditional career lifestyles, the status of women in the work world,
and occupational outlook and opportunities with specific employers. Graduate
and professional school catalogs and directories are available.

Beginning in her freshman year, each student is encouraged to complement
her academic work and extracurricular activities with the use of all resources
and to participate in career-related activities both on and off the campus.
Counseling, information, and job placement services are available to alumnae
as well as to current students.

General Information

Policies

Nondiscrimination

Agnes Scott College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed,
national or ethnic origin, or handicap in the recruitment and admission of
students or the recruitment and employment of faculty and staff. This nondis-
criminatory policy also applies to ail the rights, privileges, programs, and
activities generally accorded or made available to students at the College; and
to the administration of educational policies, scholarship and loan programs,
student employment, and other college-administered programs.

Confidentiality of Student Records

The Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (commonly called the Buckley
Amendment) is designed to protect the privacy of education records, to establish
the rights of students to inspect and review their records, and to provide a
means of correcting inaccurate and misleading data where they can be shown
to exist. Agnes Scott College makes every effort to comply fully with the terms
of this legislation.

Certain information is considered public and is released by the college at
its discretion. Unless a student files written notification to withhold disclosure,
the college will release announcements of graduation, honors, and awards and
will verify dates of attendance and conferring of degrees. Names, addresses,
and other directory information will be released for use within the college
community and in the college directory.

Transcripts of academic records and statements of academic status are re-
leased to third parties only with the written authorization of the student. The
parents of a dependent student have the right of access to the education record.

A student or her parent has the right to challenge any content of the student's
education record which is considered to be inaccurate, misleading, or in viola-
tion of the student's privacy or other rights. Such a challenge may be directed
to the Registrar of the College and, finally, to the United States Department
of Health, Education and Welfare.

Suspension, Dismissal, and Withdrawal

A student may be suspended or dismissed from the College if she fails to
meet the academic standards prescribed by the Faculty. Each student upon
entrance agrees to undertake to live by the Honor System and to uphold the j

12

The Campus

standards and regulations of the College outlined in the Student Handbook. A
student who fails to do so may be suspended or dismissed. In either case, final
action is taken by the Administrative Committee acting upon the recommenda-
tion of the appropriate student or faculty body.

A student whose continuance in college may involve danger to her own
health or to that of others may be asked by the Administration to withdraw.

A student who withdraws during the session for reasons other than suspen-
sion or dismissal must obtain a withdrawal card from the Dean of Students or
the Dean of the College. The student is not officially withdrawn until the card
is on file in the Registrar's office.

The Campus

Agnes Scott's campus consists of more than 100 acres and 20 buildings seven
miles east of the heart of Atlanta. Its buildings range in architectural diversity
from the Victorian spaciousness of Agnes Scott Hall built in 1891 to the mod-
ern Gothic Dana Fine Arts building designed by John Portman in 1965.

Buttrick Hall, named in honor of a former president of the General Educa-
tion Board of New York, is a classroom-administration building. It was exten-
sively renovated during the 1978-79 session. The building contains administra-
tive and faculty offices, classrooms, a language laboratory, audio-visual areas,
and seminar rooms.

The McCain Library, erected in 1936 and named in honor of the late
President Emeritus James Ross McCain, was completely renovated in 1975-77.
In addition to a variety of reading and study rooms, there are seven floors of
open stacks. The handsome new Board Room is used for meetings and is located
on the second floor with the Archives and the Special Collections rooms.
Library holdings include over 150,000 volumes as well as 13,500 items of
audio-visual material recordings, microforms, movies, and tapes. Some 800
periodicals are currently received. A union catalog at Emory University sup-
plements the bibliographical resources of the library. This catalog represents
more than 8,800,000 volumes in the Atlanta-Athens area which may be secured
for student and faculty use on inter-library loan.

Presser Hall, completed in 1940, bears the name of Theodore Presser, Phil-
adelphia music publisher. The building contains Gaines Chapel, Maclean Audi-
torium, and facilities for the teaching of music, including soundproof studios
and practice rooms.

The John Bulow Campbell Science Hall, completed in 1951, is named in
honor of a former trustee of the College. The building contains laboratories,
lecture rooms, a large assembly room, libraries, a museum, and departmental
offices.

sions. Members of the Committee make admissions decisions based on
evidence of applicants' sound academic training, ability, motivation, ma-
turity, and integrity as shown in school records, entrance test results, and

Joint Enrollment Plan

The Joint Enrollment Plan recognizes the readiness of selected high school
seniors to begin college work before graduation from high school and assures
simultaneous receipt of a high school diploma and of college credit. Under
this program, a high school senior, male or female, may take some courses
at the high school and some at Agnes Scott. These students are unclassified
and are approved for admission to specific courses by the Dean of the College.
The candidates must submit a high school transcript, a record of standardized
entrance examination scores, and a letter from the high school counselor
stating school approval for specific courses as well as the school's general
recommendation.

Early Admission Plan

Students judged to be ready for college in terms of academic preparation
and overall maturity after the 11th grade may be admitted without the
completion of the 12th grade and without a high school diploma under the
Early Admission Plan. Such students must have the strong recommendation i
of their schools for admission on this basis. Early Admission students are
classified as freshmen and use the normal application procedure. Some high
schools may grant a high school diploma after completion of freshmen courses
at Agnes Scott College. A student considering the Early Admission Plan should
consult with her high school about its policy.

Entrance Examinations

Applicants for admission present either the College Entrance Examination i
Board (CEEB) series (Scholastic Aptitude Test and 3 achievement tests) or the
American College Testing Service (ACT) battery. The SAT and the ACT should
be taken in the spring of the junior year or by December of the senior year.
Applicants presenting the ACT need not take the achievement tests.

1. College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) The Admissions
Committee uses the best set of SAT scores presented by an applicant
for admissions purposes.

Admission

Achievement tests should be taken by spring of the senior year and
must include English composition and two other subjects chosen from
two different fields. A student who wishes to be tested in a subject
that will not be continued beyond the eleventh grade should take the
test in the late spring of the junior year. Achievement tests are used
for admissions purposes in cases where the Admissions Committee
needs additional test scores and for placement in advanced level
courses.

Information about the CEEB series may be found in the guidance
offices of most high schools. Students living in Eastern states may
write directly for information to the CEEB, Box 592, Princeton, New
Jersey 08540; and students in the West may write Box 1025, Berkeley,

for fewer than three academic quarters of the session will be charged at the
rate of $1,800 for a resident student and $1,275 for a commuting student.
The $50 student activity fee is not included in these charges and is due at the
beginning of the first quarter of enrollment. The advance deposits are due
at the scheduled time and are then credited against the total amount charged
for the quarter.

Financial Information

Terms

A student may not attend classes or take examinations until accounts have
been satisfactorily adjusted with the Accounting Office. All financial obliga-
tions to the College must be met before a student can be awarded a diploma i
or before a transcript of record can be issued to another institution.

The College does not make refunds for tuition or room fees if a student
leaves the College before the end of the academic year. A per diem board
refund will be made if a boarding student withdraws during the first five
weeks of a quarter. Per diem refunds are calculated from the date that the
official withdrawal card is received by the Registrar.

the Thanksgiving, Christmas, or spring vacation. The dining hall and residence >
halls are closed during these periods.

The College exercises every precaution to protect property of students butt

ices, a twelve-month Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan is recom-'
mended. Information concerning this plan is sent to parents prior to the
opening of the session. This coverage is required of foreign students.

26

Financial Aid

Financial Aid

Agnes Scott makes every effort to provide financial assistance for students
whose resources are insufficient to meet expenses at this college. In 1978,
approximately 45% of the student body received aid from the College in
amounts ranging from $250 to full room, board, and tuition.

An Agnes Scott financial aid award is usually a combination of scholarship
grant, low-interest Agnes Scott loan, and the opportunity for on-campus
employment. Students may choose not to accept the loan or the employment
portions of their package. Scholarships and loans are applied toward students'
accounts. The loans bear no interest while students are in attendance and
are repayable within five years after withdrawal or graduation. Loan payments
may be deferred during full-time attendance at a graduate or professional
school. On-campus employment is for approximately five hours a week for
freshmen and sophomores and eight hours a week for juniors and seniors.
Students are paid by payroll check on a bi-weekly basis.

Financial aid awards are made for one year, but are renewable on evidence
of continued financial need. The amounts of subsequent awards are based on
current financial statements filed each year. Students are expected to be
members in good standing of the College community.

Financial aid information is confidential and is not a factor in admissions
decisions.

Agnes Scott Awards

Application Procedure Freshman applicants seeking financial assistance
ifile a Financial Aid Form (FAF) with the College Scholarship Service (CSS),
:P.O. Box 2700, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The College will also accept
the Family Financial Statement (FFS) which is to be submitted to the
American College Testing Program (ACT), P.O. Box 1000, Iowa City, Iowa
52240, but it prefers the FAF. These forms may be obtained from the high
school guidance office and should be filed by February 15 for priority con-
sideration. Prospective students should also indicate their interest in financial
assistance on the Agnes Scott application for admission.

Presently enrolled students seeking aid for the next session should obtain a
copy of the FAF from the Financial Aid Office. Instructions for applying are
posted on the official bulletin board during the fall quarter. Transfer appli-
jcants may obtain a copy of the FAF from the Agnes Scott admissions office.
jThey should also arrange to have a financial aid transcript sent to the Agnes
iScott Director of Financial Aid from all institutions they have previously
attended.

27

Financial Information

Determination of Awards The amount of financial aid granted to a student
is based on need, which is defined as the difference between the cost of at-
tending Agnes Scott and the family's financial resources. The Agnes Scott
Financial Aid Committee determines from the CSS Financial Aid Form or
the ACT Family Financial Statement the family resources which should be
available to the student for college expenses. Among the factors used in the
analysis are the following: family and student income and assets (including
the student's summer earnings), taxes, medical expenses, extraordinary debts
and expenses, current living expenses and retirement allowances, number of
dependents, and number of children in college. Copies of the federal income
tax return for the year prior to entrance are required for verification. These
should be submitted to the Financial Aid Office by June 1. Students are also
expected to inform the Financial Aid Office of any significant changes in the
financial situation of their family which might necessitate an increase or
decrease in aid.

Confidentiality of Awards Since the amount of an award reflects a family's i
financial circumstances, the award will be considered a private matter between i
the student and her parents and the Financial Aid Committee. In accordance
with the legislation titled "The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of f
1974," Agnes Scott College will not release this information to others (except!
specific scholarship donors) without the student's written consent.

Notification of Awards New students are notified shortly after receiving
notice of acceptance, provided their aid applications are complete. Returning
students are usually notified by April 1 .

Special Scholarships Agnes Scott offers several four-year scholarships an-
nually through the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Recipients are
selected from finalists who have designated Agnes Scott as their college choice,
and the minimum award is $500 per year. As participants in the Charles A.
Dana Scholarship Program, the College will award scholarships totaling
$40,000 to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors for the 1979-80 session.
Factors in the selection of the Merit and Dana Scholars are leadership po-
tential and academic promise and achievement. Financial need is the basis "j
for determining the amount of each scholarship.

The Nannette Hopkins Scholarships in Music are awarded annually on the
basis of musical talent and promise. These renewable scholarships range from
$300 to $1,000 and additional financial aid may be awarded if needed.
Applications are obtained from the Admissions Office. Applicants are expected
to audition in person or on tape for the music department before April 1.

The Marie L. Rose Scholarship of $1,000 is awarded annually by the
Huguenot Society of America to a rising sophomore, junior, or senior who
presents proof of eligibility as a Huguenot descendant. Applications for this
award must be submitted to the Agnes Scott Financial Aid Committee by
June 1 of each year. The Committee makes its recommendations to the
Society on the basis of academic performance and personal qualifications.

28

Financial Aid

Return to College students, both part-time and full-time, may apply for
financial assistance from the College. They must complete an FAF which
they can obtain from the Financial Aid Office and should submit well in
advance of the quarter in which they intend to matriculate. Financial Aid
decisions on Return to College students are made by the Return to College
Committee where special consideration is given each case. Awards are typically
in the form of tuition discounts, but in special hardship cases of full-time degree
candidates, loans and employment on campus may also be offered. Return to
College students are encouraged to apply for federal and state aid for which
they may be eligible.

Foreign Students A limited amount of financial aid based on need is
available for foreign students. Interested foreign students may obtain both the
CSS Declaration and Certification of Finances and the Financial Aid Applica-
tion for Students in Foreign Countries from the Agnes Scott Admissions Office.
Foreign students must be able to provide at the least their own transporta-
tion, vacation and summer expenses, and health insurance. February 1 is the
deadline for receipt of all admissions and financial aid documents from
foreign students interested in aid. An admissions decision will be made by
March 1, and a financial aid decision by April 1 so that foreign students may
notify the College of their decisions by May 1.

Other Sources of Funds

Students interested in financial assistance at Agnes Scott are required to
apply for all federal and state grants which may be available to them. They
are also encouraged to investigate the possibility of aid through community
agencies, local foundations, corporations, unions, and religious and civic
groups. They should consult their high school counselors and local libraries
or the Agnes Scott Director of Financial Aid for further information.

Federal Programs The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program
(BEOG) is a federal student aid program which provides grants that range
from $50 to $1,800 to those with substantial financial need. In order to be
considered for this grant, students must check the appropriate box on the FAF
or the FFS. No other application is necessary.

The Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSLP) enables students to borrow
directly from banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, and other
participating lenders. These loans are usually at 7 percent interest and are
guaranteed by a state or private nonprofit agency or insured by the federal
government. Students should inquire about these loans at their local lenders
or through the United Student Aid Funds, Inc., 200 East 42nd Street, New
York, N.Y. 10017.

29

Financial Information

State Grants Georgia residents who are classified as degree candidates,
who were legal residents of Georgia for the twelve months immediately
preceding enrollment, and who are taking at least twelve hours are eligible for
tuition grants through the Georgia Grant Program for Private Colleges. These
grants are not based on financial need. For the 1978-79 session, they were
$600 per student.

Georgia residents who are full-time students, and who demonstrate substan-
tial financial need, are eligible for Georgia Incentive Scholarships, which range
from $150 to $450 per year.

In order to receive either Georgia grant, students must be in good academic
standing each quarter. There is a common application form for the Georgia
programs which must be filed yearly and is available in the Financial Aid
Office. Students applying for the Georgia Incentive Scholarship must file by
May 15 in the Financial Aid Office. Those who wish only to apply for the
Georgia Tuition Grant must file by the tenth day of the first quarter of the
term for which they register.

Other states including Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, ,
Rhode Island, and Vermont have grant programs which may be used in i
out-of-state colleges. Inquiries about these programs should be made to the
Office of Education of the state in which the student resides.

The Academic Program

The Curriculum

Agnes Scott College confers the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The academic
program is planned to allow the student the maximum possible freedom within
the scope of a liberal arts education. The curriculum is designed to help her
gain a basic acquaintance with the major areas of knowledge and competence
in one or two disciplines in these areas. She achieves these objectives through
a plan of distribution of studies, concentration in one or two disciplines, and
elective work to meet her special interests.

The College operates on a three quarter academic calendar and the unit
of credit is the quarter hour. A course scheduled for three fifty-minute class
periods a week for one quarter carries credit of three quarter hours, and a
course scheduled for three class periods a week for the academic year carries
credit of nine quarter hours. A three-hour laboratory is equivalent to one class
period. Some courses carry four or five quarter hours of credit, indicating four
or five class periods or the equivalent each week.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS

Hours and Quality

The minimum number of credit hours required for the B.A. degree is one
hundred and eighty, usually earned in four years (twelve quarters). Minimum

In the spring quarter of the sophomore year each student usually elects a
major or majors consisting of an approved program of courses taken in one
discipline or in each of two disciplines. This choice may be made as early as
the spring quarter of the freshman year.

The major consists of a minimum of forty-five quarter hours, exclusive of
internships; and a maximum of seventy-two quarter hours, inclusive of intern-
ships, in one discipline. Any hours in excess of seventy-two must represent
work beyond the one hundred eighty hours required for the degree, unless
permission for additional hours has been given for a specific interdepartmental
major.

The major program must be approved by the department chairman.

Major work is offered in the following disciplines: Art, Bible and Religion,
Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Economics, English, French, German, Greek,
History, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Pohtical Science,
Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, and Theatre.

Interdepartmental majors are offered in Art History-English Literature,
History-English Literature, Fine Arts, and Mathematics-Physics. Intradepart-
mental majors are offered in English and Creative Writing and in Physics-
Astronomy.

It is possible to design a major which cuts across departmental lines. A
student who is interested in creating her own major should consult the Dean
of the College who will assign her an adviser. The student and her adviser
may design a major program in keeping with the student's interests. Such a
program must be presented to the Curriculum Committee for approval,
usually during the spring quarter of the student's sophomore year.

EXEMPTION, PLACEMENT, AND CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Some students, because of superior high school preparation and special
opportunities, may have had the equivalent of college-level work before be-
ginning the freshman year. An effort is made to see that no student finds
college work a repetition of previous experience. The following instruments
are recognized as appropriate testing devices: Advanced Placement Examina-
tion of the College Entrance Examination Board, Achievement Test of the
College Entrance Examination Board, exemption examinations prepared by
certain departments at the College, and CLEP Subject Examinations. On the
basis of scores on these tests, a student may be awarded college credit, placed
in an advanced level course, or given exemption from a course or distribution
requirement.

34

The Curriculum

A student who wishes to receive credit for college-level courses taken
in high school must take the College Board Advanced Placement Examination
in May of her senior year in high school. College credit will be awarded for
a grade of 4 or 5 on the following examinations: American History, Biology,
Chemistry, English, European History, French, German, Mathematics (Cal-
culus AB and Calculus BC), Physics C, Spanish. College credit may be recom-
mended by the appropriate department for those students who have made a
grade of 4 or 5 on the following examinations: Art, Latin, Music, Physics B.
The awarding of credit in these areas is dependent upon action of the faculty.
No credit is awarded for a grade of 3 on Advanced Placement Examinations
except that credit may be recommended for Calculus BC with a grade of 3.
Nine quarter hours of credit will be awarded except in the case of a laboratory
science where the credit will be 12 quarter hours.

Credit may be awarded on the basis of exceptionally high scores on the
Subject Examinations of the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP).

Certain students, upon the recommendation of the department concerned,
may be placed in advanced-level courses. Scores on the Achievement Tests
of the College Board and on tests administered at the College are used in
conjunction with other test scores.

A student may, with the approval of the department concerned, be exempted
from certain distribution requirements for the degree. Exceptionally high
scores on the Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board
or on exemption tests prepared by the College form the basis for the exemp-
tion. Every freshman, during the summer prior to her entrance in college, is
given the opportunity to request exemption examinations to be administered
after her arrival at the College. Achievement Test scores submitted as part
of admissions credentials may also be used.

OTHER CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

Independent Study

Students with proven ability in a major field may have the opportunity to
explore for themselves some area of intellectual or artistic interest in the
major and to produce independently a piece of work connected with it.
Students may begin a program of Independent Study as early as the spring
quarter of the junior year. A student who wishes to participate in the program
makes application to her major department. Admission to the program is
granted by the Committee on Independent Study, upon the recommendation
of the academic department.

Independent Study carries the course number 490 and may be taken for

35

The Academic Program

three, four, or five hours per quarter with a minimum total of six hours and a
maximum of ten. A minimum of six quarter hours of Independent Study is
required for graduation with high honor.

Special Study

Special Study, offered by most academic departments, is designed for senior
majors who wish to pursue work in some area not included in the department's
existing course offerings. Though it is intended primarily for senior majors
within the department, a few non-majors who present sufficient evidence of
preparation in the discipline may be admitted. Special Study, numbered 410,
may be taken for three or five hours of credit. Applications for admission to
the program are submitted to the Curriculum Committee. Ordinarily a student
may take no more than six hours of 410 in a single discipline and no more
than ten hours of 410 during her college program. In unusual circumstances,
a junior may be admitted to the program.

Freshman and Sophomore Seminars

Certain academic departments offer special seminars for freshmen and
sophomores. These seminars are designated as 190 and carry one hour of
academic credit each quarter. The courses are limited in enrollment. Topics
vary from year to year and are announced each fall at registration. Credit
earned in 190 courses may not be applied toward satisfying distribution re-
quirements for the degree.

Agnes Scott Summer Programs

Agnes Scott offers several summer study programs, both abroad and in the
United States. These programs are usually on a rotating basis. Detailed course
descriptions of each program are to be found in the section on Courses of
Instruction. Dates, costs, and other details of the programs are supplied during
the academic year prior to the program. These courses are on the same credit
and quality-point system as those taught in the regular college session and are
not included in the thirty-hour limitation for summer school work elsewhere.

There are two summer study programs in biology. Desert Biology (1981) is
taught in the western United States. Marine Biology (to be announced) is
taught in coastal Georgia and Florida and the Bahamas.

36

The Curriculum

A number of programs exist outside the United States. They are as follows:
Summer Study in Rome in classics and art history (1979); Summer Study in
Germany for students of German (1980); Summer Study in England and
Scotland in British history (1980); Summer Study in Mexico: Anthropology
(to be announced).

Junior Year Abroad

A qualified student may substitute for the work of the junior year at Agnes
Scott a year of study abroad in an approved program. To be eligible for the
junior year abroad a student must have high standing in the work of the first
two years at Agnes Scott and must be recommended by her major department
and the language department concerned. A number of programs abroad offered
by American colleges and universities place special emphasis on the study of
the language and culture of another country. Other students, especially in the
areas of English and history, have the opportunity to spend the junior year in a
British university.

Students interested in applying for junior year abroad programs should con-
sult their major departments early in the sophomore year. Written requests to
take the junior year abroad must be filed with the Dean of the College before
February 1 of the sophomore year and must be approved by the Committee on
Academic Standards. Credit for junior year abroad programs is awarded on the
basis of a transcript from an American college or university. In the case of a
student pursuing an independent program at a British university, credit is
awarded by the Curriculum Committee upon the recommendation of the
departments concerned.

The Washington Semester

Agnes Scott participates in American University's Washington Semester
Program. Juniors and seniors admitted to the program spend the fall quarter
at American University in Washington. Students of political science have the
opportunity to study and observe the federal government in operation. Policy
making as it relates to international and domestic economic policy will be
studied by majors in economics. Science students have the opportunity to learn
about national problem areas such as energy, pollution, and health. Several
other programs may be arranged for students in other disciplines. Agnes Scott
students are nominated for the program by their major departments and apply
through the Agnes Scott coordinator, currently the chairman of the department
of history and political science.

37

The Academic Program

Field Experiences (Internships)

Learning through field experience can be a valuable adjunct to classroom
learning. The college will endeavor to make worthwhile experiences possible
for students whose academic programs would benefit from such opportunities.
Academic credit will be awarded for such established programs as the intern-
ship with the Georgia Legislature and the internship with the Washington
Semester Program. Credit may be authorized by the Curriculum Committee
upon the recommendation of the appropriate department for other field experi-
ences such as the Governor's Intern Program. A student interested in a field
experience for academic credit should contact the chairman of her major
department. Internships carry the course number 450.

Students are urged to take advantage of other beneficial experiences even
though the awarding of academic credit may seem inappropriate.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Teaching

Agnes Scott has a state-approved program for teaching at the elementary
level and in several secondary fields. Students who complete the program
satisfactorily are eligible for the Georgia T-4 certificate. This certificate is
generally accepted throughout the United States. In the case of one or two
states, certain specific courses are required; arrangements can be made to meet
these special requirements as a part of the Agnes Scott degree.

Students in the professional teacher education program have an opportunity
to observe and work in a wide variety of school settings. Tutoring opportunities
in such schools are open to all levels, including first quarter freshmen.

Students interested in teaching should consult the chairman of the depart-
ment of education as early as the beginning of the freshman year and no later
than the spring quarter of the sophomore year.

Dual Degree Programs with the Georgia Institute of Technology

A student may combine three years of liberal arts studies at Agnes Scott
with two years of specialized work at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Upon completion of this five-year liberal arts/professional program, the
student will be awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott and an

38

The Curriculum

additional bachelor's degree from Georgia Institute of Technology. The Georgia
Tech degree may be in a variety of engineering fields, in information and
computer science, in industrial management, or in management science. A
highly qualified student may be awarded the second degree at the master's
level.

Students interested in the 3-2 program should consult the Agnes Scott dual
degree coordinator as early as possible in the freshman year. Requirements
include certain courses in science, mathematics, and economics. In addition,
the student must select a major and plan a program which will satisfy all
distribution requirements for the Agnes Scott degree by the end of the junior
year and, if the student should elect to remain at Agnes Scott for the senior
year, all requirements for an Agnes Scott departmental major.

Admission to the program at the Georgia Institute of Technology is based
on the completion of the above requirements and the recommendation of the
dual degree coordinator (currently the chairman of the mathematics depart-
ment at Agnes Scott).

Preparatory Program for Business

For students interested in business careers, the College has selected from
its curriculum a group of courses designed to familiarize them with the skills
and knowledge to facilitate their entrance into business.

The program does not alter requirements for graduation; nor does it con-
stitute a major. Rather, it is designed to serve as an academic bridge from an
undergraduate liberal arts curriculum into business careers.

Students who choose to follow the program will complete nine of the courses
listed below, including work from at least three disciplines and including
Economics 204, 205, and 311. In addition, they will complete Mathematics 101
or Mathematics 120. Their official transcripts will carry the notation that they
have completed the Preparatory Program for Business.

Courses included in the Program:

Economics 204, 205, 303, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 317

English 210

Mathematics 101, 115, 120, 220, 328

Psychology 316

Philosophy 103

Political Science 321

Theatre 108

The Academic Program

Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC)

Through a special cross-town arrangement, Agnes Scott students may par-
ticipate in the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps and in the Naval
Reserve Officers Training Corps at the Georgia Institute of Technology. A
student who completes one of these programs will qualify as a commissioned
officer and will be ordered to active duty in the United States Air Force, the
United States Navy, or the United States Marine Corps.

A student may apply to either program at the beginning of her freshman
year or may choose to apply at the end of the sophomore year. While a
student is enrolled in one of these programs, she will attend certain courses
at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Agnes Scott students are eligible to apply for scholarships under both the
Air Force and the Navy programs. Scholarships cover all educational expenses
at Agnes Scott.

Additional information about either program is available from the respec-
tive ROTC units at the Georgia Institute of Technology or from the Office
of the Dean of the College at Agnes Scott.

PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL STUDY

More than twenty-five percent of each class enters graduate or professional
school immediately after college. A liberal arts program with sound education
in basic disciplines is considered the best preparation for most graduate or pro-
fessional work. During her four years at Agnes Scott, a student may satisfy
requirements for the B.A. degree and at the same time prepare for graduate
study or for entrance into such professional schools as architecture, law, medi-
cine, dentistry, business, journalism, social service, and education.

A student planning to earn an advanced degree should confer with her major
professor and the Dean of the College as early as possible in order to be aware
of any specific courses needed. Information regarding graduate and professional
schools, fellowships, and standard examinations may be obtained in the office
of the Dean of the College. Law schools, medical schools, and some graduate
schools require special admission tests. Arrangements for taking these tests are
the responsibility of the student.

Medicine

The premedical program at Agnes Scott College allows a student to meet
the requirements for admission to medical school while majoring in any

40

Return to College Program

academic discipline of her choice. Almost all medical schools recognize the
importance of a four-year liberal arts education. Minimum requirements for
admission to medical school can generally be satisfied with two years of chem-
istry and one year each of biology, physics, and English. Many institutions re-
quire mathematics through calculus and some advise courses in the behavioral
sciences. A student planning a premedical program should consult the Dean of
the College who serves as premedical adviser. The annual bulletin of the
Association of American Medical Colleges is helpful in listing medical school
admission requirements. Arrangements may be made to take the Medical
College Admission Test at local centers.

Law

The normal preparation for law school is a four-year course of study in
the liberal arts. No specific courses are prescribed for a prelaw program. In
order to qualify for admission to law school, students must present strong under-
graduate records in any major of their choice. The Law School Admission Test
is required. Students interested in studying law should consult the Dean of the
College and their major professors. Copies of the Prelaw Handbook are on
file in the office of the Dean.

Business and Management

A major in almost any academic discipline is suitable preparation for
graduate programs in business and management. Graduate schools are gen-
erally interested in students who have strong liberal arts programs. Students
should have mathematics through calculus and at least introductory work in
economics and accounting.

Return To College Program

The Return to College Program provides the opportunity to work toward
the Agnes Scott degree for women whose education has been interrupted. It
is designed for qualified persons who have not had college work and for those
who have already acquired credits toward the B.A. degree. The program is
available also to those who prefer to pursue a course of study as unclassified
(non-degree) students; these students are permitted to earn a maximum of
36 quarter hours of credit at Agnes Scott.

41

The Academic Program

Admission is possible in the fall, winter, and spring quarters. Requirements
include ( 1 ) an application, filed preferably at least a month in advance of
the opening of the quarter; (2) an interview at the college; and (3) a transcript
of record from each school or college previously attended. Inquiries regarding
admission should be directed to the admissions office.

All students enroll in regular college courses, and classified students meet
the same course requirements for the degree as other undergraduates. Students
in this program are not, however, subject to the usual minimum course load
requirements nor are they expected to complete work for the degree in the
usual four years. Time limits for completion of the degree are: (a) four years,
if initially classified as a junior; (b) six years, if initially classified as a
sophomore, and (c) eight years, if initially classified as a freshman.

Students who have obtained a college degree may be admitted to the Return
to College Program as unclassified students. Before registering for a second
quarter of work, they must present for approval a statement of a proposed
program of study to the Assistant Dean of the College, who is special adviser
to students in the Return to College Program.

Requests for exception to any of the above requirements may be directed
to the Committee on Academic Standards and must be approved by the Faculty.

Financial aid is available to Return to College students, whether part-time
or full-time. Information may be obtained from the Assistant Dean of the '
College and the Director of Financial Aid.

Academic Regulations

Classification of Students

A classified student is one who has been admitted as a candidate for the
Agnes Scott degree. Students are classified as follows:

Freshmen: students who have earned less than 36 quarter hours of credit.

Sophomores: students who have earned at least 36 quarter hours of credit and a cumula-
tive quality point ratio of at least 0.50.

Juniors: students who have earned at least 84 quarter hours of credit and a cumulative
quality point ratio of at least 0.75.

Seniors: students who have earned at least 132 quarter hours of credit and a cumulative
quality point ratio of at least 0.91.

Students who present advanced standing credits will be classified during
their initial quarter at Agnes Scott on the basis of credit hours alone.

An unclassified student is one who is not a candidate for the Agnes Scott
degree. Such students are primarily of three kinds: (a) adults not working
toward a degree, (b) transient students working toward a degree at another
institution, and (c) high school students on a joint enrollment program.
Unclassified students are permitted to earn a maximum of 36 quarter hours

42

Academic Regulations

of credit at Agnes Scott. Requests for exception must be directed to the
Committee on Academic Standards. Unclassified students who wish to become
candidates for the degree must submit a petition to the Office of Admissions
before completing 36 quarter hours of credit. Once a student has been given
classified status, she may not return to unclassified status.

Registration

All students must register for classes on the dates announced in the College
Calendar. A $10 fee is charged for late registration. No student is allowed
to register after the tenth day of the quarter.

Students already in residence pre-register for the next session during Course
Selection Week in the spring quarter. Entering freshmen receive instructions
from the office of the Dean of the College in the early summer and file a
preliminary selection of courses in July. They consult special advisers for
final course selection after they arrive in September. Entrance into any
course is prohibited after the tenth day of the quarter.

A course of study which has been approved may be changed only in accord-
ance with posted instructions. No new course may be elected after the first
ten days of a quarter, and no shift from letter-grade basis to pass-fail or
pass-fail to letter-grade may be made after the first ten days of a quarter.

No course may be dropped after the first month of each quarter. Dates are
posted in September.

Withdrawal

A student who withdraws during the session for reasons other than suspension
or dismissal must obtain a withdrawal card from the Dean of Students or the
Dean of the College. The student is not officially withdrawn until the card
is on file in the Registrar's office.

Course Loads

The normal academic load is from fourteen to eighteen hours per quarter.
Students may take a minimum load of twelve hours for a total of three out
of the six quarters comprising the freshman and sophomore years. Juniors
and seniors are permitted to elect one quarter of thirteen hours each year,
provided the total number of hours elected for the year is at least forty-two.
Students may petition the Committee on Academic Standards for other excep-
tions to the normal course load. Students in the Return to College Program
are not subject to the limitations for minimum course loads.

43

The Academic Program

Auditing

Students may audit courses with written permission from the Dean of the
College. The student's previous academic record and the number of credit
hours being carried are factors considered. Permission for auditing is given
during the first two class days of each quarter.

Class Attendance

Attendance at academic sessions is not mandatory, with the exceptions
noted below, but the responsibility for work missed is entirely that of the
individual student.

Attendance at all academic appointments is required of students on academic
probation and of all freshmen during the fall quarter. These students are
permitted one cut in each class during the quarter.

Attendance at tests announced at least a week in advance is mandatory.

Examinations

Examinations are self-scheduled and are held at the end of each quarter.
With the exception of a few examinations scheduled in advance because of
the nature of the course or the size of the class, a student may take any exam-
ination that she chooses at any of the times set for examinations. She is not
required to submit an examination schedule in advance.

A student who because of illness is unable to complete examinations during
the regular period may take the examinations in question at the time scheduled
for re-examinations. Re-examinations are permitted in the case of conditional
failure and are given in the first week of the next quarter.

Grades

Grades indicating the student's standing in any course are officially recorded
as follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, average; D, passing; E, conditional faUure;
F, failure. Grades for courses taken on a pass-fail basis are recorded as P or F.

A student may elect a total of 10 quarter hours of regular course work on
a pass-fail basis during the junior and senior years. Courses taken to meet the
distribution and specific requirements for the degree, regular courses in the
major, and certain courses in the teacher education program may not be
elected on a pass-fail basis. All grades on field placements (internships) will

44

Academic Regulations

be recorded as either pass or fail. This option is in addition to the 10 quarter
hours of pass-fail work in regular courses. It also constitutes an exception to
the general rule that no work in the major department may be taken on a
pass-fail basis. A student's intention to elect pass-fail courses must be signified
to the Registrar by the tenth day of the quarter.

Grades (except for courses taken on pass-fail basis) are evaluated by a
quality point system: A = 3 quality points per quarter hour, B = 2, C = 1,
D = 0. For a statement of the grade and quality point requirements for class
standing and for the degree, see sections on the classification of students and
requirements for the degree.

Quarter grades in year or two-quarter courses are progress reports only.
Credit and quality points are based on the final official grade and are given
only on completion of the entire course.

Grade reports are issued to students at the end of each quarter. They are sent
to parents who have filed a written request and whose daughters are dependents
according to Internal Revenue Code of 1954, Section 152.

Graduation Honors

Students may be graduated with honors or with high honor. A student is
ehgible to be graduated with honor if she attains a cumulative quality point
ratio of 2.40, has maintained this minimum level in the work of her last six
quarters in residence (figured on a cumulative basis for all work for the six
quarters), has been ehgible for Honor Roll in at least one of her last two ses-
sions in residence, and receives the recommendation of her major department.

A student is eligible to be graduated with high honor if she attains a cumula-
tive quality point ratio of 2.70, has completed a minimum of six quarter hours
of Independent Study distributed over two quarters, and meets all other
requirements specified above for graduation with honor.

Honor Roll is based on quality point ratios earned in a given academic
session. Requirements are posted.

Academic Review and Discipline

The work of each student is reviewed at the end of every quarter. A student
whose work is unsatisfactory will be placed on academic probation. Academic
probation serves as a warning to the student that her work must improve.
A student whose work continues to be unsatisfactory may be subject to aca-
demic dismissal.

A full-time student will be subject to academic dismissal if she fails to earn
a minimum of thirty quarter hours of degree credit in any academic session.

45

The Academic Program

She will be subject to academic dismissal if she fails to make appropriate
class standing for two successive years or if she has been on academic proba-
tion for two consecutive quarters.

An unclassified student's eligibility to continue her work at Agnes Scott will
be determined by the Dean of the College, subject to confirmation by the
Committee on Academic Standards.

Acceleration

A student may receive permission from the Dean of the College and her
major department to complete degree requirements in nine, ten, or eleven
quarters. This acceleration may be accomplished in any of the following ways:
( 1 ) entering with Advanced Placement credits based on College Entrance
Examination Board Advanced Placement Examinations; (2) carrying excess
course loads during regular sessions; (3) attending summer sessions at other
institutions, or an Agnes Scott summer program.

Summer School

Students may attend summer sessions in accredited colleges and universities.
Their courses must be approved in advance by the Dean of the College.

A maximum of eighteen quarter hours will be approved for a single summer
session, and a maximum total of thirty quarter hours of summer work may be
counted toward the Agnes Scott degree. A grade of C or above must be made
in each course.

Academic Counseling

Academic counseling is coordinated in the Office of the Dean of the College.
Each new student, prior to her arrival on the campus, is assigned to a faculty
adviser. Where possible, this adviser teaches in the student's area of special
interest and works with the student until she declares a major at the end of
the sophomore year. The Class Dean for Freshmen and Sophomores coordi-
nates this program.

The chairman of her major department becomes a student's academic
adviser for the junior and senior years. Supplementary counseling of upper-
classmen is the responsibility of the Assistant Dean.

The Dean and her assistants, members of the Faculty, and the Director of
Career Planning share in advising students and alumnae about plans for
graduate and professional programs.

Explanation of Symbols and Abbreviations

Course Numbers

Courses are numbered according to level of difficulty. One hundred-level
courses are intended primarily for freshmen and sophomores; 200-level courses
are intended primarily for sophomores, but in some cases are open to freshmen
by permission; 300-level courses are intended primarily for juniors and seniors,
but in some cases are open to sophomores by permission; 400-level courses
are intended for seniors.

Certain course numbers are used in each department for special programs.
The number 190 is used to designate Freshman and Sophomore Seminars,
410 is assigned to Special Study, and 490 to Independent Study. The number
450 is used for all internships and field experiences.

Course Notations

Courses which are offered for one quarter only are designated by f, w, or s
(fall, vi'inter, or spring) following the course number. Course numbers fol-
lowed by hyphenated letters (for example, f-w) indicate courses extending
through two quarters. Course numbers without letters indicate courses ex-
tending throughout the year. No final grade or credit is given until the entire
course is completed; quarter grades in such courses are progress reports only.

Summer Study Abroad courses are designated by SG, SE, SR, SM (Summer
in Germany, England, Rome, and Mexico) following the course number. A
course number followed by SUS designates Agnes Scott Summer Study courses
in the United States.

Course Credit

The calendar for the academic year consists of three quarters, and the
unit of credit is the quarter hour. Each 50-minute lecture period a week
represents credit of one quarter hour. A course which carries credit of three
quarter hours is scheduled for three lecture periods a week for one quarter.
A course which carries five quarter hours of credit is scheduled for five
lecture periods a week unless otherwise indicated. A course which carries credit
of nine quarter hours is scheduled for three periods a week for the academic
year. Course credits are indicated in parentheses following the course title.

Laboratories are usually three-hour periods, and a three-hour laboratory
per week is equivalent to one lecture period. For courses with laboratories,
the number of hours lecture and the number of hours laboratory work a week
are designated by LEC, LAB. A course which carries credit of four quarter
hours and is scheduled for three lecture periods and one three-hour labora-
tory per week is designated by 3 LEC, 1 LAB.

The Department of Bible and Religion offers students the opportunity of
broadening their knowledge and understanding of the religious dimension of
life, with special emphasis on the Judaeo-Christian tradition.

The degree requirement for a course in biblical literature may be met by
completion of Bible and Religion 200 or 201. Students considering the possi-
bility of majoring in Bible and Religion are strongly urged to take 201 as the
basic course.

A student who majors in this department may focus either on Bible, choosing
a minimum of 20 hours on the 300 or 400 level in the biblical field and the
remainder of her major hours in either Bible or Religion, or she may concen-
trate on Religion, choosing a minimum of 20 hours on the 300 or 400 level
in the field of Religion and the remainder of her major hours in either Bible
or Religion.

The department recommends that students concentrating in Bible take Greek
203, and that those planning to do graduate work in theology take German.
Courses in classical literatures, philosophy, psychology, and sociology are
recommended as electives for the enrichment of the major.

Economics

Associate Professors: Edward C. Johnson

William H. Weber, III (Chairman)
Lecturer: Martin B. Roberts

Economics is the study of the production and distribution of goods and
services and of the various institutions through which this has been and is now
carried on. Current economic theory is taught with reference to past thought
and theory so as to emphasize the evolutionary character of the development
of economics as a social science. Methods of theory construction and analysis
useful in the task of understanding both the social implications of any form
of economic system and the management and organization of enterprises, public
or private, are taught.

Economics 204 and 205 are prerequisite to all 300-level courses except
Economics 309 and 311, each of which requires only 204. Certain 300-level
courses have prerequisites in addition to Economics 204 and 205. All students
majoring in economics are required to take Economics 303, 306, and 332, as
well as a year of calculus and a course in statistics.

Students planning graduate work in either economics or business are advised
to take two years of calculus, as well as an introductory course in computer
programming. The department offers a number of courses preparatory to a
career in business, and of these 311 and 312 (Accounting and Economic
Decision-Making) are considered essential.

Teacher education at Agnes Scott is a college-wide enterprise. The depart-
ment of education does not offer a major, but exists as one of many departments
that contribute to the future teacher's curriculum. Programs in the various
teaching fields are planned by a teacher education committee consisting of
representatives from several departments, including education.

Teacher education programs should be planned no later than the end of the
sophomore year. Students will be advised regarding requirements and assisted
in planning for necessary courses.

STATE-APPROVED REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATION

Students who complete satisfactorily a planned, state-approved program are
automatically eligible for a T-4 certificate to teach in Georgia on the ele-
mentary or secondary level. Candidates for the elementary certificate must
choose the K-4 or the 4-8 certificate. Out-of-state students may meet certifica-
tion requirements in their respective states; they are urged to study their state
requirements at the time of projecting programs in order that proper guidance
may be given. Copies of requirements from all states are on file in the education
department.

The professional quarter involves an integrated program which includes the
study of procedures and materials of instruction, extensive classroom obser-
vation and teaching, and advanced study of pupils and school organization.

Summer experience working with children in such programs as Headstart, day
care nurseries, and summer schools and camps is encouraged. Rising seniors
who have been admitted to the professional quarter are required to participate
in a September Practicum. Students will be contacted by a member of the
education department so that individual arrangements may be made.

Students in the teacher education program are advised to take the National
Teacher's Examination. Examination dates are announced by the Educational
Testing Service and are available in the education department.

The curriculum of the English department is constructed to give the student
a breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding of English and American
literature and to provide her the opportunity to learn to read literature with
perception and delight and to write about it critically and imaginatively.

A student majoring in English is required to take work in medieval litera-
ture, Shakespeare, seventeenth- or eighteenth-century English literature, nine-
teenth-century English literature, and American literature. She has a choice
of courses within each required area and a choice of electives in these or other
fields, especially in modern British and American literature, to complete her
major hours. In addition to the basic English major the department offers a
major in English and Creative Writing and interdepartmental majors in Art
History-English Literature and History-English Literature. With the approval
of the department a student may also design a program of concentrated study
in which she emphasizes her major interests in literature and chooses comple-
mentary courses from other disciplines. For example, she may plan a program
in medieval studies, Renaissance studies, or American studies. The department
provides the opportunity for its majors to study at British universities in the
junior year and to participate in internships in the senior year.

All advanced literature courses in the department have as a prerequisite
English 211 (9 hours) or one of its equivalents: a combination of English 211
(6 hours) and English 212 (3 hours); a score of 4 or 5 on the College Board
Advanced Placement Examination in English Literature; or two 300-level
courses in English literature if the student has been exempt from English 21 1
on the recommendation of her instructor in English 101 or 102.

The French Department has as its goals accuracy and fluency in the written
and spoken language and knowledge and appreciation of the literature and
culture of France.

New students who make a satisfactory score on the exemption examination
may be exempt from the foreign language requirement for graduation. All new
students electing French, depending upon their preparation, will be placed
directly in the appropriate French course or will be asked to take a placement
test.

French 235 plus an additional French literature course of three or more
hours on the 300 level will satisfy the literature requirement for graduation.
Note that French 235 is the prerequisite for all French courses on the 300
level.

Students, if qualified, may spend their junior year in France on an approved
program. Such students should consult the department chairman early in their
sophomore year.

A French Assistant comes from France each year to live on the French Hall
with students desirous of speaking French in the dormitory. To be eligible for
residence on the French Hall, students must be enrolled in a French course on
or above the intermediate level. Application for residency should be made to
the Office of the Dean of Students. "La Table Francaise" in the dining hall
welcomes students on all levels of French proficiency. The French Club involves
students in programs of plays, songs, poetry, and slides. The language laboratory
is open to all foreign language students.

Courses of Instruction

German

Professor: Gunther Bicknese (Chairman)
Associate Professor: Ingrid E. Wieshofer
Lecturer: Viola G. Westbrook

Each course offered by the department emphasizes the communicational
skills of speaking, understanding, and writing. Linguistic and cultural aspects
of the German-speaking world are presented at all levels. In the intermediate
and advanced courses, a wide selection of classical and contemporary works in
German literature are read.

All teachers in the department are native speakers of German which is the ,
language of instruction in all literature and culture courses. Majors and non-
majors alike are encouraged to live on the German Hall, a German-speaking i
campus community. Qualified students may participate in an intensive six-week
Summer Study Program at the University of Marburg in Germany. This pro-
gram is offered in alternate years.

Students with a previous background in German will be placed in accord-
ance with their proficiency. Even without such a background, a student may
elect German as her major if she enrolls in elementary German as a freshman.

If a student begins the study of German in her sophomore year, she still
can fulfill the requirements for the major provided she participates in the
Summer Study Program in Germany.

Students considering a double major should consult with the department
chairman as early as possible.

History

The history curriculum offers courses in five major areas: Early United
States; Modern United States; Early Europe, including Great Britain; Modern
Europe; and Africa and Asia. Students who major in history may concentrate
in any of these areas but must also fulfill the distribution requirement which
ensures that at least some work will be done in several different fields of his-
torical study. A student's probable area of major interest should be considered
in her selection of introductory courses.

Periodically the department offers a program of summer study in Great
Britain. Accommodations are in British universities and distinguished British
professors participate as visiting lecturers. Internships in the Atlanta area can
be arranged for history majors. Any interested student should consuh with the
department chairman as early as practicable in her college career.

Political Science

The political science curriculum offers courses in four subfields: American
politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political theory. A
major may concentrate in any of these areas. Introductory courses correspond
to these subfields, allowing a prospective major to choose her initial courses
according to her primary interests. The department does require, however,
that majors take courses in at least three subfields. Majors are also required
to undertake an individual research project to ensure experience in political
science research methods. This requirement may be fulfilled either through
the seminar in research methodology or a program of independent study. An
optional senior seminar permits an intensive exploration of topics selected
annually to reflect the interests of the participants. Majors are urged to con-
sider internships as a means of complementing their classroom studies with
practical field experience.

The curriculum in the department of mathematics is designed to help stu-
dents to think clearly and logically, to analyze problems, to understand and be
able to use the language, theory, and techniques of mathematics, and to develop
skills and acquire mathematical tools needed in the applications of mathematics.

The courses offered give mathematics majors a solid background for
graduate study, teaching at the secondary school level, and employment in
government and industry.

The chairman of the department makes a recommendation about the
appropriate placement in a mathematics course for each entering student.
Students who wish to be considered for exemption from Mathematics 120
must take the departmental exemption examination prior to the beginning
of classes. Students who are planning to major in mathematics should take
Mathematics 120-121 in the freshman year.

The music department provides a curriculum designed to prepare its majors
for graduate study and the professional music world. It also seeks to meet the
needs of non-majors through a variety of courses in music appreciation and
applied music. The guiding philosophy in all instruction is that music is a hu-
manistic, not a mechanistic discipline, and is a central part of a true liberal
arts education.

A student interested in music, art, and theatre is invited to consider the Inter-
departmental major in Fine Arts.

Philosophy

Philosophy

Associate Professor: Richard D. Parry (Chairman)
Assistant Professor: David P. Behan

The department offers two approaches to philosophy on the beginning level:
the systematic and the historical. Although the two approaches are not strictly
separate, they each have different emphases. The systematic approach deals
with issues in philosophy, e.g. ethics, without necessarily concentrating on the
historical development of the issue. The historical approach traces the develop-
ment of issues through a portion of the history of philosophy. The systematic
beginning courses are: 102, 103, 104, 106, 230, 232. The historical beginning
courses are 206, 207, 208; the latter courses are best taken in historical
sequence.

The requirements for a major program in philosophy embody two goals.
First, the student will learn, through close work with original sources, the ideas
of the major figures in philosophy, ancient through contemporary. Second, the
student will learn and practice techniques of careful analysis and constructive
reasoning which are the heart of philosophy as a living discipline.

It is the purpose of the physical education department to assist students in
their physical, mental, and social development through a program of regular
physical activity. Physical education is required of all students three hours a
week during the first two years. Students entering with advanced standing
credits, but with additional credit to earn in physical education, are required
to take physical education in their first quarter or quarters of residence.

Students who must be limited in physical activity should have a physician's
statement filed with the Dean of the College.

The physical education program includes a wide variety of activities which
accommodate varying levels of skills and abilities. In order to complete a di-
verse program, students select courses from at least three of the five areas listed
below:

Aquatics: Intermediate swimming, synchronized swimming, advanced life-
saving. Red Cross instructor's course in water safety.

Dance: Beginning and intermediate contemporary dance, ballet, jazz, tap,
folk, square, and social dance.

Dual Sports: Badminton, fencing, tennis.

Individual Sports: Archery, camping, fundamentals, golf, gymnastics and
tumbling. Riding (huntseat equitation, Olympic style) is taught at the Vogt
Riding Academy. Transportation is provided.

Team Sports: Basketball, field hockey, softball, volleyball.

Methods in physical education for elementary grade children (winter quar-
ter, MWF 12:10) is required for elementary education certification.

History of the Dance, Theatre 206, is offered jointly by the departments of
physical education and theatre.

During the fall quarter, freshmen must elect one of the following activities:
field hockey, dance, or swimming.

Students may not receive physical education credit for more than two quar-
ters of the same activity at the same level.

Clothing

Clothing of uniform design for physical education classes is required of all
entering students. Information regarding the purchase of clothing is sent during

The aim of Studio Dance Theatre is to acquire a broad understanding of the
art through the study of contemporary dance elements. Emphasis is placed
equally on technique, creative studies, and composition. Admission is by
audition. The members dance regularly in the Atlanta area. A major dance
concert is given in the spring.

Dolphin Club

The purpose of dolphin club is to encourage and develop the art of syn-
chronized swimming. Each year the club presents a water show during the
winter quarter. Tryouts for membership are held in the fall and spring.

Intramural Sports

The Athletic Association, with assistance from the physical education
department, sponsors tournaments and intramural games. Fall activities include
field hockey and tennis. During the winter quarter, badminton tournaments
and basketball games are scheduled. In the spring, a swimming meet, softball
and volleyball games, tennis, archery, and golf are sponsored.

Intercollegiate Sports

The Athletic Association, a member of the Georgia Association of Inter-
collegiate Athletics for Women, provides intercollegiate competition in certain
activities. Tennis: During the spring quarter competition in tennis is sched-
uled with area colleges and universities. Six singles players and three doubles
teams compete in regular season matches. The season is finalized with participa-
tion in the annual G.A.I.A.W. Tennis Tournament. Field Hockey: Games in
field hockey are scheduled with other institutions during the fall quarter.

Open Hours

During the year certain hours are set aside each week when students may
swim, play badminton and tennis. The facilities of the department are available

Instructor: Steven J. Griffith

The goal of the theatre department is to establish high standards of creativity
and appreciation in order to enhance the theatre-going experience as a facet of
the liberal arts tradition. This is accomplished through a program which inter-
relates theory, history, and practice. With the Winter Theatre as the laboratory,
all aspects of the theatre arts may be studied in close association with the cre-
ative process of the produced play.

Students who are planning to major in theatre should consult with the chair-
man of the theatre department early in their college careers. It would be advan-
tageous for prospective majors to complete Theatre 100, 104, 106, and 108 as
soon as possible since they form a working basis for more advanced courses to
follow. The theatre major must fulfill a core of basic courses which stress the
interrelationship of three key areas: introduction and history, creative explora-
tion and experience, and the mastery of techniques.

A student interested in theatre, art, and music is invited to consider the Inter-
departmental major in Fine Arts.

Alumnae Association 1978-1979

Organized in 1895, the Alumnae Association of Agnes Scott College has
as its purpose the furtherance of the intellectual, spiritual, and financial aims
of the College. All former students who earned any academic credit while
in college are members of the Association. Its work is done under the
authority of an Executive Board elected by the membership and composed of
officers; committee chairmen; and, ex officio, the director of alumnae affairs,
the coordinator for clubs, the assistant to the director, and the presidents of
the various alumnae clubs.

The Anna Young Alumnae House is operated as the international head-
quarters of the Alumnae Association and as the guest house for the College.
The Association publishes The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly, conducts the
alumnae division of the Agnes Scott Fund, maintains files of information on
more than 9,000 alumnae, and keeps alumnae aware of the nature of the
College today.

Volunteer committees work with alumnae clubs and individuals throughout
the United States and various other countries, corresponding with class officers,
offering a program of continuing education for alumnae, arranging special
interest tours, planning class reunions, suggesting fund-raising projects, acting
as alumnae admissions representatives for the College, and presenting career
conferences for students and special events for the College or alumnae groups.
The Alumnae Association seeks to make alumnae opinions available to the
College and to make Agnes Scott alumnae an active force in education.
